Department of Chemical Engineering - University of California at Berkeley

Unfortunately as a new program that does not have a research thesis requirement, we cannot at this time offer research assistantships or fellowships to those admitted to the PDP. We are continuing our efforts to raise funds beyond our initial seed funding from the Dreyfus Foundation to sustain the program and we will do what we can to offer students assistance to the extent we are successful. However, at this time we must advise students that they must consider the various sources of financial aid available to all qualified students who apply to graduate school at Berkeley http://uga.berkeley.edu/fao/default.htm. Students should make the "return on investment" decision of entering the program with the assumption that they will be responsible for financing their attendance.
